So I finally added the last 2 GPUs to my mining rig. Before, I had 4 cards hooked up and everything hashed as expected, but with some "mildly" frequent disconnects from pools (especially suprnova), according to the software.
Last night I added the last 2 390x's, and everything booted and all cards were recognized just fine. However, once I start the miner, TeamViewer would almost immediately disconnect and I would have a very hard time reconnecting. The miner reported eth hashrate as expected (~160 mh), but my pool (coinotron) reports only 2-5 mh, which is a fraction of what it should be. I tried running Genoi's latest release, but the CPU usage jumped to 99% once the mining started, and after a couple minutes I saw TeamViewer disconnecting as well as display driver crashes, so quickly scrapped that strategy.
I'm not really sure what might be the issue, but it seems maybe the wireless adapter I have installed isn't doing what it needs to. Any advice as to what might be the issue? For completeness sake:
4gb RAM
Celeron CPU
2x 1k watt PSU
4x 390x
2x 280x
Windows 10
Thanks!
I had a similar issue previously, until I installed a "headless HDMI or DVI adapter" - after that my TeamViewer or VNC connects as per normal as if the remote irg is attached to a PC monitor.
Well, whenever I first start the rig up, I have a monitor plugged into the first GPU, and I still see the same behavior. TeamViewer only disconnects or somehow seems less stable when I fire up a miner....
Ok, so I'm quite sure my first problem is the wireless adapter I'm using. Plugged in using an ethernet cable, I get steady connection and have no problems also connecting TeamViewer. Unfortunately, the spot I want my rig is nowhere near where my modem/router is, so
I need to find a dependable wireless solution. Any suggestions?2nd problem: Once I wired in to my network, I noticed that after a few minutes of running all 6 cards, a couple of them would reach 94+ temps. At which point, display driver would fail, and the 3 GPUs I had plugged into my 2nd PSU would turn off (sometimes the others would stay, sometimes the entire rig would just shut down). So, I guess I need to buy a Kill-A-Watt or similar to monitor voltages from each PSU.
Given I have 2x 280x and 4x 390x, does anyone have a recommendation for how to configure them? I mean,
how many cards into the primary PSU, and how many in secondary PSU (I'm using Add2PSU to connect the 2x 1000 watt PSUs).
Thanks for any feedback!
I will us 2X280x+1X390 in the main, and 3X390 in the secondary. By doing that, you might have 800W in each PSU.
